signment hath not been recorded: — Therefore,

Clerk directed

and record the aforesaid assignment from Robert Eg-
gleson to John G. Wilson, of the aforementioned

ved and recorded, shall have the same force, validity
and effect that it would have had, had the same been
duly recorded among said records within the time pre-
scribed by law for the recording thereof; provided,
that nothing in this act shall be construed to affect the
interest acquired by any other party, to the property
therein mentioned, since the date of said mortgage
